1st Biennial of Contemporary Jewellery in Lisbon takes place in September and November
“Cold Sweat” is the title of this first edition, which invites to reflect on the body, fear and protection through exhibition projects, colloquiums, meetings, and masterclasses.
“The pandemic situation we are going through, which has forced us to rethink our modus operandi, and the fear and uncertainty that have settled in, have led us to choose as our theme a remarkable aspect in the history of jewellery – physical and spiritual protection – and to debate its meaning in the 21st century. The theme emerges with the exhibition project that PIN launched in March 2020, at the beginning of the confinement: to develop a jewellery/protective object for the 21st century, with presentation in an online exhibition at MUDE – Museum of Design and Fashion (MUDE) since July 2020,” say those responsible.
This cathartic exercise was extended to other national and foreign artists and the result will make up the core exhibition of the Biennale – produced in partnership between MUDE, the São Roque museum and PIN – and will be on show in the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery, in the Church and Museum of São Roque. The exhibition also has the partnership of the Pharmacy Museum, that will lend some pieces to the exhibitions in São Roque and will host some contemporary works that will establish dialogue with the works in its collection.
